Die Cast Engineering - A Hydraulic, Thermal, and Mechanical Process

Informationen zum Autor Andresen, William Klappentext Written in a reader-friendly and logical format, this reference emphasizes that high-pressure die casting is a predictable and highly effective method of transforming raw material to near net shape. It provides a broad study of each procedure in the die casting process and clearly outlines its basic science and principles. It also studies the evolution and latest developments in die casting machines, explains methods for strategic temperature management, showcases the interrelationship between product design and processing for improved quality and productivity in high-pressure die casting operations, and presents strategies that will help minimize costs in die casting facilities.
